The liquidity management is based on the financing policy of the Siemens Group, which is aimed towards a balanced financing portfolio, a diversified maturity profile and a comfortable liquidity cushion. Intra- group financing activities drove both a decrease of €4.5 billion in receivables from affiliated companies, which resulted in lower inventories, receivables and other assets, and a decrease of €4.5 billion in liabilities to affiliated companies, which was the main reason for the decrease of trade payables, liabilities to affiliated companies and other liabilities. The increase in equity was due to net income for the year of €4.5 billion and the transfer of €0.6 billion in treasury shares to employees in connection with our share-based payment programs. These factors were partly offset by dividends paid in fiscal 2023 (for fiscal 2022) of €3.4 billion and share buybacks during the year amounting to €0.9 billion. The equity ratio as of September 30, 2023 increased to 21%, from 19% a fiscal year earlier. For the disclosures in accordance with Section 160 para. 1 no. 2 of the German Stock Corporation Act about treasury shares, refer to Note 15 of our Notes to Annual Financial Statements for fiscal 2023. 9.3 Corporate Governance statement The Corporate Governance statement pursuant to Sections 289f and 315d of the German Commercial Code is publicly available on the company’s website at siemens.com/corporate-governance. 34
